Hosting Provider Says Sites Down Wednesday AM

By Jeralyn

Just in from our network provider...Some kind of critical issue requires maintenance that will have TalkLeft (and not just us) down Wednesday morning starting around 9am ET and continuing for several hours.

Just got an e-mail from Mochila, where we get our news headlines. They are in New York and write:

Please be advised that our hosting provider will be performing critical maintenance on a power cable tomorrow morning EDT. In anticipation of that, we are required to temporarily shut down real-time content feeds into our marketplace as of 5AM EDT tomorrow, May 21st.

Undoubtedly, there will be a lot of sites down tomorrow.

So, get your comments in tonight. I'll keep the threads going for a while tonight.

This is an open thread. Updates below:

Update: Colin, our webmaster says"

I understand and have seen the technical problem they're trying to resolve, but I've never heard of bringing an entire datacenter down in the middle of a weekday for multiple hours, to deal with anything short of a fire. This really is unbelievable.
